Yeah, it's one of the things I hate most about the ad ecosystem. The pro-ad argument is "they give the little guy a kick at the can", but that's tremendous bullshit. Try an example: Turn off adblock and search "Leji

> Hopefully degradation of user experience will curb it somewhat. Sometimes the ads even betray themselves. Like I, as a rule, hate ads. I block them where I can, and where I can't, I do my best to ignore them. But then you get inst

I ended up getting the KDS 1000/6000. I don't know enough about sharpening to have an informed opinion, but I can say that it works fantastic for me.

This case isn't even fake-- it's stuff that's either unbranded, or with a new brand made up from whole cloth.

That's true, but the problem I mention persists with a lot of normal searches too. Like search for a 3.5mm cable, a USB C dock, or a power bank. You'll get a whole lot of cheap garbage from oddball brands.

I had a look at those, but I ended up going with the KDS 1000/6000. I'm still new to using it, but it works great!

It runs deeper than just everything being an ad. It's also completely flooded with rebadged junk from dropshippers. A few weeks ago, I was looking for a new whetstone, and this is what I got when I searched Amazon https://

Last.fm is still fantastic! Spotify natively supports it, and I've never stopped scrobbling.

Even if you could somehow guarantee that there will never be hacks, I'd say that the very existence of this data is almost exclusively to the detriment of the "consumer". If, for example, one of the anti-abortion states wante

In many developed and developing countries, you could likely work with the state and build it into their taxation schemes.

I couldn't disagree more. OP is about a good way to improve your communication skills, which makes more people on the team feel included and productive. This isn't some "kids these days" culture war BS, Dale Carnaige was

Heck, I'd just be happy to get an epub bundled with a physical book purchase. Most contemporary vinyl comes with digital download codes all the time, I wish books would get on that train.

Their needs do support it though. They were happy with the output, and it printed on their inkjet printer just fine. Then Adobe rug-pulled and they weren't able to view their own files any more.

For the car analogy, it seems to me more like Ford pushing a firmware update to remove support for Ethanol based fuels IMO.

What an absurd assertion, that software should make me "suffer the consequences" after following a logical set of steps, just because I don't have a bunch of obscure knowledge about printing processes. The case I laid out is

I am a normal pleb with a Photoshop license. I go to the paint store and see "Oh, I like this PANTONE 628 C colour. That might be nice to put on my wedding invitations", then go home and tell Photoshop "Hey, make the backgrou

No. I'm suggesting they do literally the opposite. They did, by definition, count on variable licensing terms.

by moolcool 4y ago
They could simply not offer features which count on variable third party licensing terms.

Does Photoshop give a warning when you're about to use a professional feature? "You're about to use a B2B feature. Please note that this functionality can be removed on a whim. Do you wish to continue?" Why should I, a

I'm sorry, but this is just mental gymnastics to justify dark patterns in modern software development and distribution. If I create a file on Photoshop on Monday, I should be able to open it on Friday. Period. Even if I used a feature

I would argue that a multi-sided marketplace isn't always a double dip. If I want a Pantone 628 C coffee mug from China, I can order it and know exactly what colour I'm getting. It saves designers tons of money and time with avoid

I'm sorry, but this is a very obtuse way to look at this problem. "Oh, the data is still there. You just don't have any way to read it". Like that's fantastic if you're a massive pedant, but if you actually wan

This is a real Steve Jobs "You're holding it wrong" way to look at this problem. This is an extremely anti-consumer move, and you can't blame the users for it.
